Influenster Box

A while ago (you know, last month) I received a Spring Beauty Vox Box from Influenster. It was filled with some beauty goodies for me to try out and I wanted to share the good and not so good.

The loot.

Things I liked:
- Dr. Scholls for Her: Who doesn't like a little extra cushion for their heels?! The extra padding was great and allowed me to wear heels longer than would normally be comfortable.
- Chapstick Lip Shield: Loved the SPF and feel. Unsurprisingly, I've already lost it. (Is anyone able to hang on to chapstick for long periods of time? What is your secret?)
- Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Frock Star: really fun and easy to apply. I hate taking off glitter polish of any kind, but I would be interested to try a different option to see how easy/hard it is to take off.
- Sheer Cover Duo Concealer (light/medium): easy to carry around, the color matched my skin tone, and worked well with my somewhat dry skin. However, it was a little on the runny/liquidy side.
- Bath & Body Works Fine Fragrance Mist in Paris Amour: Nice scent, even if it was different than what I normally go for. Not too heavy. Really good sized bottle (a.k.a. I will never use this up.)

Things I wasn't as excited about:
- SoyJoy strawberry bar: the taste and texture were not my favorite.
- Aveeno body wash: the scent reminded me of play-doh, which is not really something I want to smell like after showering. Otherwise, I thought it was smooth and moisturizing.

Overall, I am most likely to purchase the Dr. Scholl's, Chapstick, or Sally Hansen products again. The other ones either didn't appeal or aren't something I use very often.

Do any of these products appeal to you? Have you used them before?

Disclaimer: I received each product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

I've always wondered if the Dr. Scholls inserts were worth it. Now I'll have to give them a try. Hopefully they will make my work shoes more comfortable.

Also, girl, I hear you about losing the chapstick. I'm no help with that. I lose everything (my sunglasses, keys, chapstick...everything). I think I going to have to try tethering everything to my bag. lol! :)

I used Dr. Scholl's in my wedding shoes and they worked really well. I find it's best to carry multiple chapsticks and lip glosses everywhere... I have them in every purse, in my car, in my desk at work. I'm addicted and freak out when I find myself sans lip moisturizer...

I have a small zip-up pouch that I keep in my purse -- it stores my lipstick, lipgloss, and chapstick. I'll be honest, I can get a little lazy, and sometimes it's embarrassingly full... On a good day, I'll just have one of each in there. BUT I haven't lost a gloss/stick since I started using the baggy! [knock on wood]

I've used those Dr Scholl's thingies -- I actually put two pairs in my dance boots!

I agree with you on the Aveeno. I find most of their products to be sort of MEH... Except for their intense hand cream, which I keep by my desk at work at all times.
